Mounting ISOs in Linux

I posted about a Microsoft utility to allow you mount an ISO image directly, without the intermediate step of burning a CD or DVD.

Someone commented about how this scores points over Linux. Not so, Linux has this feature built in. No need for an extra download. Its part of the 'mount' command options. Check it out! Alright I'll spell it out: -

If you've got an iso image called image.iso and you want to put it at /place/to/mount then use:
mount -o loop image.iso /place/to/mount
